Tokyo is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Narita International (NRT), about 60–70 km east of central Tokyo, is typically the primary international long‑haul hub handling many full‑service carriers and some low‑cost operators; the Narita Express or airport limousine buses connect to Tokyo Station/Shinjuku in roughly 55–90 minutes with fares usually in the mid‑range for airport transfers. Closer in is Haneda (HND), around 14–20 km from downtown, which usually handles a mix of domestic flights and an increasing share of international services, served by fast train links (Tokyo Monorail or Keikyu Line) taking about 15–25 minutes for modest fares. Narita can be pricier and slower to reach from the city but often offers more long‑haul choices, while Haneda is more convenient for short transfers and late arrivals though can be busier and a bit more premium in facility options.
Chicago is served by two major airports with different roles. O'Hare International (ORD) is the primary international hub and a major connecting point for full-service carriers such as United and American, typically offering a wide range of domestic and long-haul flights; it sits about 17–18 miles northwest of downtown and is reachable by CTA Blue Line in roughly 45–60 minutes or by taxi/ride-share in 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with transit fares low and road fares varying. Pros: extensive route options and airline lounges; cons: large terminals and potential for delays. Midway (MDW) functions more as a domestic and budget-friendly airport, favored by low-cost carriers like Southwest; it lies about 8–10 miles southwest of downtown and can be reached by CTA Orange Line in about 25–35 minutes or by car in 20–40 minutes. Midway can be easier and quicker to navigate but has fewer international connections and fewer premium amenities.
The minimum one-way ticket price from Tokyo to Chicago is $496 (September 2026), while the maximum is $596 (October 2026). On average, a ticket costs $546–$596.
